Blacklight: Tango Down

Game Summary

Blacklight: Tango Down is a fast-paced first person shooter based in a new fictional universe called Blacklight. Utilizing the cutting-edge graphical power of Epic Games Unreal Engine 3, Blacklight: Tango Down's near-future setting is brought to life with disturbingly detailed and old-world architecture dripping with modern sci-fi lighting and brightly lit advertisements, an effect that causes each environment to appear both futuristically alien as well as hauntingly familiar.
Blacklight: Tango Down will deliver some of the most exciting multiplayer gameplay available in the shooter category and features numerous gameplay styles and functionality. These modes include traditional formats like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch & Control Point, with other modes being announced in the build up to launch.
Blacklight: Tango Down will set itself apart from other games by virtue of its incredibly deep customization features. Players will be able to alter and upgrade not only their character through experience gained on the battlefield, but also their weapons. Weapon customizations will unlock as the player gains skill and experience points and will include more basic add-ons like sniper scopes as well as more complex enhancements, such as improved accuracy.

Dead Space 2 fans have, over the last several months, been treated to some of the most interesting game marketing in recent memory. The ink blots, mysterious packages and cryptic trailer that have come to light have all hinted that something is seriously wrong with protagonist Isaac Clark, whether physically, psychologically or both. Now that some hearty gameplay footage has been devoured by fans and media alike, though, it's likely that Visceral will be revealing more and more about the game's new features.
Cue the above image, which showed up on the Dead Space Facebook page today. "If you look closely you might find that there's a hint hidden in here about a big announcement we'll be making this week. Let the guessing begin!" reads the image's caption. That sounds like a challenge to us- let the guessing begin, indeed. *Cracks knuckles*

Summer is a time for levity. No one has time for anything heavy. Heavy books don't mesh well with reading by the beach. Heavy movies don't really mix with sunshine and pina coladas. Heavy games don't work with splitting time between enjoying the weather and going to the pool. That is where cheap and light downloadable games come into the conversation.
Well, tomorrow, July 7, Ignition is releasing Blacklight: Tango Down for the Xbox Live Arcade. It is a multiplayer focused first-person shooter that checks all the boxes for a modern shooter. It looks great, has a leveling system, has a large number of maps, and a 4-player co-op mode.
Not exactly light, but is it cheap? Hit the jump for all the details. Read More

Blacklight: Tango Down developers Zombie Studios will finally be delivering on a promise made to gamers years ago by the developers of Borderlands. At the outset of that game's development, Gearbox Software was aiming to include a robust weapon customization system that would result in millions of possible combinations, all in players' control. Instead, they opted to make the customization automatic, and the game randomly generates the millions of weapon combinations as players defeat enemies and discover loot.
Blacklight: Tango Down, which comes out later this year on XBox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and PC, puts the customization in the hands of the players. Check out the developer diary video above and hit the jump for more details. Read More
